So, no one in this forum is complaining about having a subscription on a Tivo mini?

It didn't occur to me until I set it up and it downloaded data...

I bet there's something in Tivo's agreement with Tribune that makes them pay on a per device basis. So, they couldn't download the data to the Premiere and just "echo" it on the mini, although that would make total sense. I bet the mini looks and says, "hey, where am I?" and then downloads its own data. Because Tivo's paying per device, you pay too.

I'm just happy I can go down to the FiOS store this weekend and turn in a cable card. Then I will be paying FiOS $3.99 less each month and be down to two cable cards. If/when the six tuner TiVo is released, I'll finally be able to get down to one cable card.

I am turning in my cable card tomorrow & saving $7.45 a month from Comcast ($9.95 -$2.50). Now I won't be paying them anything at all for any equipment or outlet fees. I couldn't be happier until the dynamic tuner support update is released.

I would have saved $6 a month, turning in my card for my HD. Since I downgraded to the Cox "Economy" package, my tv bill went down to $35 a month, including the cards. The gateway fees of $13, were also removed, so...I will still save $2 a month.

Of course I will sell the HD with Lifetime. ($250 to $300) One thing that I will miss with this HD box, the fast Netflix load times.

Yeah, a 6 tuner and a 4Tb drive would be like 3 premiers.

On monthly TiVo subs you would save $14 a month by using 2 minis instead of premieres

When you upgrade to the newest TiVo box,you only need 1, unless it's a mini upgrade. Wonder if the mini could get added functions by a new TiVo Series box upgrade?

I never even considered a monthly option on the Mini. Just the PLS. I can understand paying the monthly fee on a DVR because of concerns over how long it will last and how often you may want to upgrade it, but on a Mini, that has no moving parts? No way. Make sure it's connected to a surge protector at all times (a battery back-up would be better so voltage is constantly regulated), and enjoy it for quite a long time. With a 25-month break-even, the deck is stacked in your favor.

Still, I would have been happier with a $200 price tag with PLS, but that $249 was definitely at my threshold of what I was willing to spend without regretting just getting another DVR.
